A source has mergedStar Wars’online database, Wookieepedia, and international superstarTaylor Swiftin the most hilarious way,connecting the world-famous singer/songwriter to one of the most powerful, terrifying villains in the entire franchise—and it’s shockingly apt. Much like its online encyclopedia counterpart Wikipedia, Wookieepedia pages can be edited by the public, and an anonymousStar Warsand Taylor Swift fan has taken full advantage. On the page forAbeloth, aStar Wars Legendscharacter linked tothe Mortis Gods, nearly all the section titles pertain to Swift’s songs and lyrics, particularly from theMidnightsalbum.
This is a particularly brilliant joke because, as Taylor Swift fans know,Swifties refer to Taylor Swift as “Mother,“a name directly connected to Abeloth’s title as the Mother inStar WarsLegends. It’s also much more than a joke; like Swift’s “Anti-Hero,” Abeloth is compellingly complex. She began as a mortal, but because she wanted to stay with her family, the Father, the Son, and the Daughter—all immortal gods—the Mother drank from the Font of Power and bathed in the Pool of Knowledge, turning her into Abeloth.
Once upon a time
Older but just never wiser
Prices and vices
Tale as old as time
Dream of getting out
All alone?
Covert narcissism
Incipient tendrils
Enter the anti-hero
Emerging enigma
A stare directly at the Maw…
Tentative allies
…but never clearer
Monster on a hill
Bad omen
Foe on the beach
Addicted to betrayal
Terrified to look down
Tired of her scheming
Watch your back, kid
Crisis of faith
Passing by unbeknownst
Another guiding light
Seemed like the right thing at the time
Memories feel like weapons
Dance with the devil
End up in crisis
Looks can kill
The worst of them
Good faith treaties?
Dressing for revenge
Meet the band
Playing with fire
Desperate prayers
Bruised like violets
Skywalker went away; still the yearning stays
Nearly lost
Records and regret
If it feels like a trap…
The luxury of secrets
Storm coming
Lit from within
Take the battle overground
Chart the constellations
They say the end is coming
The whole place shimmers
Tonight feels impossible
Turned into ashes
The kind senator
Chasing that fame
Caught in politics
Hiding in plain sight
Blind and hazy
Everybody agrees
Big city, wrong choices
Changed like midnight
No words
Flashes of the battle
No reason to be afraid
A brief interruption
Levitating above all
All that bloodshed
Make-believe campaign
Confessing her truth
Sense of a bounty hunter
Nothing has ever felt so wrong
Falling apart
Just run?
Burn all the lab
Just like clockwork
Laid the groundwork
Step by step
Rattling the ground
With horror and truth
The past talking
The final blow
For the last time
The family gathers
The planets and the fates
Sets the scene
All she did was smile
At the same time
Pierced through the heart
…but never killed
Clarity in death?
The wound that would not close
Every loss a step
To hide a smile
Incarnations and poses
Someone sweet and kind and fun?
Standing hollow-eyed
Catastrophic blues
Lavender face
Sweet like honey
The Best References In Wookieepedia’s Taylor Swift Easter Eggs
The section titles under Abeloth’s Wookieepedia page are a combination of direct lyrics from Taylor Swift songs and puns, and they are truly hilarious. As mentioned, there is an explicit connection between “Anti-Hero” and Abeloth, and many of the titles address that directly.Titles such as"Enter the anti-hero,” “Monster on a hill,“and"Covert narcissism"draw connections between thisMidnightssong and Abeloth’sStar Warsstory, and while the titles are humorous, there is something that rings shockingly true about them.
While the titles are humorous, there is something that rings shockingly true about them.
Other titles are simply outright jokes, such as"Foe on the beach,“a play on Swift’sMidnightssong “Snow on the Beach,” and"Lavender face,“a straightforward change to “Lavender Haze.” There are also several titles that are hilarious when applied to Abeloth specifically, such as"Someone sweet and kind and fun?“There is certainly nothing sweet, kind, or fun about Abeloth, but particularly the fact that it is framed as a question makes it incredibly funny.
Abeloth Could Be A Massive Part Of Star Wars' Future
What makes this Wookieepedia page even better is thatStar Warshas primed Abeloth to become very important in the near future, particularly followingtheAhsokaseason 1 finale. TheAhsokashow heavily incorporated imagery of the Mortis Gods, and given the connection Ahsoka Tano already has to the Mortis Gods, the Daughter in particular, this makes it that much more likely that they are returning toStar Warssoon, perhaps as soon asAhsokaseason 2. This could very well mean Abeloth is coming to theStar Warsscreen soon.
Ahsoka Season 2: Story, Updates, Everything We Know
Ahsoka season 2 is confirmed and has received exciting new story and filming updates. Here’s everything we know about the Star Wars project.
Although these Wookieepedia changes may have been made in good fun, they nevertheless do land in terms of Abeloth’s character and her potential importance moving forward. It will be interesting to see how exactly, if at all,Ahsokaor other upcomingStar Warsshows and movies incorporate this character. In the meantime, this brilliant blend ofStar Warsand Taylor Swift is truly enjoyable to read.
